Nouveau Driver Ported To Work On ARM

Phoronix: Nouveau Driver Ported To Work On ARM, Tegra

The open-source Nouveau graphics driver for reverse-engineered NVIDIA hardware support now has initial support for the ARM architecture and as part of that initial enablement for NVIDIA graphics on Tegra SoCs...

Just to clarify before it becomes a major confusion: this is NOT about the Tegra internal GPU. This is about the case where you take your 5W ARM system, connect your 150W GeForce to it and then proceed to go on and play OpenArena at a whooping 30FPS. That why the series is titled "Nouveau on ARM", not "Nouveau for Tegra".

There's some confusion here. Project Logan does not necessarily mean a full GeForce GPU on an ARM CPU. For instance, it's not entirely unlikely that NVIDIA will still use the display controller, and other graphics related components from current-gen Tegra.
